Yesterday

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 14 Jun

Bob took a five and a half hour nap in the afternoon. He made us cheeseburgers for supper, then I went to bed at 7. I expected rain all day yesterday, but it did not come, inspite of the forecast. We got it in abundance this...

I cannot find my pictures

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 12 Jun

I do not know if my pictures came over from my old computer or not. I cannot find them. I cannot figure out what to do, but I certainly do not want to lose them all. One day soon I will try to fix the ethernet problem. I had...

I had a very busy dream last night or early this morning. I was doing our in person inservice for back to school. We were not in the usual building we use. That is a large, one story church built in the "industrial" style....

So it is outdoor time all the time

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 11 Jun

I finished mowing the front today. Sent hubby down to the shed to see if we had a weed eater from when we cleaned out my son's garage, and we do. We have batteries to fit it, but no charger that I can find. I may see if I can...

Summer is here

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 10 Jun

It is hot. I have mowed twice for a little bit and will do more after supper, when it cools down a little. Good news. . . Jane is home from the hospital. She was having those symptoms because of a medicine she has been taking to...

I was surprised, it was not a scam

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 9 Jun

Like many people, I check social media on my phone in between other activities. Bob was driving us towards the stores after church yesterday, and I got a message request on Facebook messenger. The message said "I work at North...

My friend Jane texted last night. She was having TIA's (mini strokes). She went to the ER twice yesterday. The second time they kept her and sent her by ambulance to one of the larger hospitals, one that specializes in...

Gotta go into the closet

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 7 Jun

I know that I have a wireless mouse somewhere. I think in a computer bag, in the closet, in the office. I had forgotten that having a wireless mouse is part of what I found essential to using my laptop happily. We were going to...

The weather threatened

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 6 Jun

but nothing happened. I put off doing some things because I was sure it was going to rain. Instead, we had a nice day with eventually blue skies. In those skies were big, white, fluffy clouds. I weeded a lot in my front flower...

I had never made it before, may not do it again

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 6 Jun

I had never made chicken fried steak, or country fried steak before from scratch. I will admit to having bought frozen ready to cook, overly processed ones in the past. It is a messy prep if you do it right. I had gotten some...

I think I will go back to bed

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 6 Jun

There were thunderstorms at 3:30 this morning and I was awake for them. At 6:30 I got one of THOSE headaches. I have had a cup and a half of coffee, allergy meds and breakfast and I think that a nap is just what I need on this...

That is what cooking has been today, casseroles. I made something I have not had in many years, tuna and potato chip casserole. We ate it both for lunch and supper. Bob had never had it before. After supper tonight I put...

It will take a while

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 5 Jun

I am sure I will get used to this laptop. It does not even know what time it is. It is sixteen hours ahead. I told it where I live, but that did not help. I will figure it out sooner or later. We have light rain again today....

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 4 Jun

It did not rain today, but things are definitely muddy. I bit the bullet and bought a new laptop. I went about $t50 over my intended budget.I also went back to a lower dose of a medicine I took in the past, and took a nap, and...

Third time the charm.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 3 Jun

I'm having computer problems my carrier said there was a problem this morning. That is long resolved my TV connects to the internet but my desktop does not. Troubleshooting says that it is either a broken ethernet cable or not...

I did mow

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 2 Jun

I checked twice at Zogies, and no one was there, so I did not get a red geranium. I mowed until my battery ran out. Too bad it is supposed to rain tomorrow. We ate light, just mostly a snack. When I was in Marion for my doctor...

Primary care

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164142) • United States 2 Jun

Today I have an appointment with my primary care doctor. Labs were done ten days ago when I did labs for the cardiologist. My big question for her will be "Why am I seeing this particular cardiologist? and not seeing the one Bob...
